Paul Burrell, Private Secretary and close friend of the late and very missed Princess Diana joined us with his friends at Atlanticview Cape Town in Camps Bay

Paul wrote after staying at Atlanticview Cape Town Boutique Hotel in Camps Bay "An enormous thank you to everyone at "Atlanticview" for helping to make my first visit to Cape Town such a special and memorable one. We have been overwhelmed by the kind and generous hospitality and spectacular views. We are sad to leave, but happy to know that we will return again next year to see you. Greg, Rainer, Little Audrey and the rest of the Atlanticview family, Thank you for sharing this special place with us. Paul Burrell

Dear Paul, It was a pleasure to have you and your friends join us at Atlanicview. I really enjoyed those chats about our favorite Princess and some of our mutal friends at Buckingham Palace. You really took me down memory lane. Thank you for that. I and the family look very forward to seeing you again. And now there is a little Rainer Gregory added to the family as well! Please do come back soon.

Greg ,Rainer, Audrey and the Atlanticview Family! PS, Thank you so much for the copy of your book "A Royal Duty" I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

What a beautiful relaxing hotel, perched high up in Camps Bay, for me reporting for the BBC, its not often I get to enjoy such naturally beautiful views.Much of my time is spent following the test horsemen of the apocalypse to natural disasters and war zones.I will recommend and come again given the chance.

Scott and I can't thank you and your staff for such hospitable accommodations during our recent visit to Cape Town. The room was fantastic and the food and service were out of this world. Your staff was so knowledgable, accommodating, and provided such VIP service. We felt like Kings and Queens! Monsour (probably not sure how you spell it) was absolutely incredible and we couldn't have a better driver/tour guide with us for our stay. Wesley, Wendy, and Bobby were equally helpful in securing transportation, reservations, and wine (OH THE WINE!!). We were so thrilled with our choice to stay with you and will be referring all of our friends and family to follow suit. We wish we could have met you and Rainer! Also, we told Monsour you should sell your robes-they were so plush and luxurious!

Dear Greg,Just wanted to thank you for an absolutely wonderful 3 nights... the Penthouse is stunning and my son, Olly, loved the Rock room..we caught a brief glimpse of ' Royalty' and signed the guest book under them!Thank you for the sundowners it is such a great idea and the nibbles were exquisite. The staff were all absolutely charming and went out of their way to make our stay perfect. I love the house and decor and admire your taste and attention to detail. The house style is great..the perfect balance between friendliness and professionalism. Particularly impressed with Jarrad and Wesley who I understand were new to Atlantic View..you have made two excellent appointments there!!Only problem...everywhere else pales into insignificance after a stay at Atlantc View...hope we will return one day.Thanks again and very best wishesJulia Hunter

I must just thank you for a wonderful weekend. Your staff were excellent. As a south African it was nice to hear all the positive comments from the foreign guests. You have a new youngster working for you at the hotel. He was brilliant. His interaction with the guests was excellent.

We arrived back home yesterday and just wanted to say a big thank youto you and all the team at Atlantic View for such a great week. Fromthe first contact last year to the very last minute we leftthe servicewas first class. We appreciated so much the extra care andconsideration taken to make our stay so memorable, particularly for ourengagement.

The staff at Atlantic view were second to none and you must please passon again our thanks to them all for the special way we were treated.The Royal guests were an interesting distraction but we felt as if wewere just as "Royal".

We are sorry that we did not get to meet and thank you in person andhope that we get to see you on our next visit.

You have such a magnificient place at Atlantic View and we can't waitto return.

This one stretches the definition of guesthouse, and would more comfortably be described as a luxury guest villa, set in the foothills of the mountains and a 30-minute walk from the beach. But it's well worth the walk. Modern, linear and with every designer comfort imaginable, you feel pampered as soon as you walk through the doors of Atlanticview.

Every detail was designed to maximise the views of the sea and the mountains - from the floor-to-ceiling windows that span the length of the villa to the positioning of the beds which offer dual vistas without twisting, turning or craning. Owners Greg Boki and Rainer Pires even buried telephone lines and planted tropical trees by crane to enhance the views. The Rock Room, for example, incorporates a large boulder that straddles the interior and exterior of the full-frame window.

There's an infinity pool, pool-side bar, braai and pizza oven, and an outside shower. Inside, there's a steam shower with views of Table Mountain, and all en-suite bathrooms are limestone with Philippe Starck-style fittings. The four guest rooms have huge beds with top-of-the-range linens and feature state-of-the art flat-screen monitors with in-house DVD channels showing the latest movies.

While this sounds almost too cool to be comfortable, Atlanticview manages to avoid being cold thanks to the judicious use of local ornaments and colourful art on the walls - there are even zebra-inspired fabrics on the chairs. And then there's cocktail hour. At 6.30pm, guests get together to watch the sun go down over wine and home-made hors-d'oeuvres on the deck. Not just any old plonk and nibbles, mind, but generous amounts of Longridge chardonnay accompanied by foie gras, and on Saturday evenings, champagne with lobster.

Hi Greg,
Just wanted to drop you a mail to say what an amazing time Mark and I had at your Cape Town Hotel Atlantic View last week.It truly is such an amazing place and you have some absolutely wonderful people working with you who made our stay so special for us. The guys there literally cannot do enough for the guests and they are an absolute pleasure to stay with.
Thanks again and I guarantee we will be back.

I wanted to thank you for such an amazing finale to my husband and my honeymoon. Your property, amenities, delicious food & wine, and especially your staff were all beyond our wildest expectations. Tim and I had such an amazing stay! Looking forward to returning, possibly for a future anniversary......

Best Wishes,Linda

Linda, Thank you for you very kind email and such a fun pic! We are so happy to hear you both enjoyed your honeymoon so much. Do come back and visit us again.

Alan stayed when visiting Cape Town to attend a Human Rights Convention with Desmond Tutu. Thank you for staying with us Alan. We were so glad you were able to relax and enjoy it. Your lovely wife and group of friends you traveled with were a delight to have as guests. Thank you for bringing them with you! Warm regards and safe travels, Greg and the Atlanticview Team
